Great Read: From Loss to Legacy

 

As the New Year begins—a season of reflection, fresh starts, and renewed purpose—I wanted to share an uplifting story that beautifully captures resilience, intentional living, and meaningful impact.







Julie Colombian’s journey began with deep personal loss the death of her mother but became the foundation for something extraordinary. Out of her grief, Julie built Deux Mains, an ethical fashion brand rooted in dignity, sustainability, and opportunity for women artisans in Haiti. What started as a way to honor her mother evolved into a globally recognized mission-driven company that proves business can be both profitable and deeply human.


In her book, From Loss to Legacy, Julie shares how navigating grief reshaped her values, leadership, and sense of purpose. The story resonates especially strongly at the start of a New Year, when many are reconsidering what truly matters and how they want to show up in the world.


It is a hopeful reminder that resilience can lead to lasting legacy.


From Loss to Legacy is a reflective, deeply human book that explores how personal loss can become a catalyst for growth, purpose, and lasting impact. Through honest storytelling and hard-won insight, it follows the journey of moving through grief, setbacks, and uncertainty toward clarity and meaning. Rather than dwelling on pain, the book focuses on transformation—showing how resilience, intentional choices, and hope can turn life’s most difficult moments into a legacy that influences others for good.
